IT staffing and apprenticeship for industrial operations and manufacturing
Tech One IT is a 25-year-old staffing firm positioned at the intersection of IT services and industrial automation. Their tech stack—heavy on manufacturing control systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Fanuc) and infrastructure automation (Chef, Ansible, Puppet)—reveals a client base in factories and plants, not typical corporate IT. Hiring is accelerating (11 roles in 30 days) and concentrated in engineering and ops, with a emerging manufacturing department, suggesting they're expanding beyond pure IT staffing into hands-on automation and compliance work.
Tech One IT matches IT professionals and automation engineers to mid-market manufacturers and industrial operations in the U.S. Founded in 1999 and based in Scottsdale, Arizona, the firm operates a Technology Apprenticeship Program alongside its core staffing business. They serve hiring managers who need flexible, scalable IT and automation resources—particularly those facing rapid technology shifts in manufacturing control systems, process automation, and industrial compliance. Active projects span capital equipment replacement, manufacturing execution system (MES) implementation, and workflow automation for real property and lease operations.
Manufacturing control platforms (Allen-Bradley Studio 5000, Siemens S7-300/S7-1500, Fanuc, Cognex), infrastructure automation (Chef, Ansible, Puppet), databases (MongoDB, PL/SQL), and industrial networking protocols (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Profibus).
A training and talent-sourcing initiative that develops IT professionals for industrial and manufacturing environments, supplementing the core staffing business. Details are not publicly disclosed.
